John Zeravich

I moved to SF in November of 2014, and with my move came a lot of stress which turned into physical pain. I’ve been seeing DNFT specialist since I injured my low back +15years ago and I swear by the technique to heal anyone who is suffering from chronic pain. Dr. Zeravich takes it a step further and offers healing positive energy and thoughts into his practice. Call it magic, call it whatever you want — but this doc heals ! I don’t know where I would be without Dr. Zeravich. I am so forever grateful for him and his practices. It’s not very often you can leave a doctors office instantly feeling the relief and knowing that you are 1 step closer to recovery. Absolutely 100% recommend !

Have you ever opened your eyes after a night of sleep and discovered you were unable to move an inch without excruciating searing hot pain shooting down your leg? Three weeks ago, that’s just what happened to me. After four days stuck in bed and still having almost constant level 10 pain, I desperately googled «house calls chiropractor» and one of the top results was Dr. Zeravich. I texted the number on his website and had after replying to discuss what was going on, Dr. Zeravich was at my home an hour later. From the moment he walked in, he put me at ease and went to work to relieve the sciatica pain. He explained everything he was doing in a calm and clear way, and he spent 90 minutes at my house all focused on my healing. Two days later, I was able to get out of bed for the first time in a week. I have continued to receive follow up treatments at Dr. Zeravich’s office on Ocean Ave. and feel so grateful to have discovered him. Severe sciatica has a long recovery period, and Dr. Zeravich has really helped me to feel much better as I recuperate.

Wow. Dr Z gave me plenty of time, did the most thorough intake you can imagine and then spent time working on me to help me relax but also to find out what my body needed. It was an amazing visit. And to think I just wanted to get a massage today. Instead, I came away with a greater appreciation for my overall well being and, feeling that I had an advocate, not just a masseuse. He is super knowledgeable, gentle, peaceful, respectful, professional, positive and you come away so relaxed and more vibrant. With healing, not just a massage.
If you want to know why your body has pain and needs a massage, go to Dr. Z. If you just want to keep getting massage and never fix the underlying problem, that is up to you. But I’d give him a chance. He is amazing.
His prices are so fair! He even makes house calls!!! A healer that comes to your home. It costs $ 300 but if you don’t want to hassle with driving, parking and you are in pain, let the healing come to you. Also, if you have a PPO, your insurance will most likely reimburse you with a «Super Bill». Win. Win. Win.
Parking is a breeze. Free parking on the side streets; metered out front. There is a Walgreens across from his office, coffee shop, restaurants, etc. Very convenient. Its also located right on 2 MUNI streetcar lines: M and K, and one major bus line the 28. A perfect set up. The office is bright, clean and tho’ it has a nice, dated, mid-​century look to it, its not a turn off at all but a relaxed and welcoming place.

Dr. John Zeravich, without a doubt deserves a 5 star Unilocal review. I had been training for a marathon, and had chronic runner’s knee diagnosed by my primary care physician.
Six weeks before the marathon, my knee continued to deteriorate, and so I visited Dr. Z on the recommendation of a friend. Within two weeks of visiting Dr. Z, my chronic runner’s knee had completely disappeared. When I ran my marathon, I did not feel one iota of pain. I credit Dr. Z, because I did not engage in any other interventions (i.e no physical therapy, didn’t change «how I run,» etc). Therefore, I can say with almost complete certainly it was because of Dr. Z.
I was so happy, I even called him to thank him as it was such a tremendous help to me completing my (first) marathon. If you have chronic pain, you should consider visiting him. He is extremely smart, genuine, kind, and warm — you will feel comfortable almost immediately after meeting him. Good luck!

I have tried many chiropractors during my 68 years, and Dr. Zeravich is the best. He never uses any force with any of his adjustments but you immediately feel better. He was able to get rid of chronic pain in my ankle and knee after adjusting them and now I can walk freely without pain or discomfort.
But there have been other benefits as well. I feel much less tense and stressed since receiving his treatments. I notice that I can work longer hours without getting tired. I actually feel like I did back in my 40’s!
It is obvious when you are with Dr. Zeravich that he is interested in helping you with your problems. He is a great listener and takes the time to understand what is bothering you. I find myself looking forward to my visits to his office.

I don’t believe in magic, or medicine much to tell you the truth. I believe in Dr. Zeravich though.
I’m an active drummer and play softball 2 – 3 times a week. I came to Dr. John to get work done on a tendon in my shoulder. Some of my doctor friends said that my injury could require surgery. Dr. John had it back together after two weeks. Through his treatments I’ve also overcome some problems I thought I would never be able to. My right leg has always stuck out at an angle. Doctors have said there was really nothing I could do about it. Dr. John has my feet pointing straight now. My allergy problems are becoming manageable and my energy is much better.
I’m going to start taking his nutritional counseling soon and couldn’t be more excited. Dr. Zeravich is a true healer. It’s amazing what a few small pokes, prods and some belief can do. Thanks Dr. John!

I have had three concussion and along with those came severe migraines. I suffered these migraines for four years. I also had horrible neck and back pain that came with my concussions. I have tried everything from acupuncture to a neurologist to prolo therapy (huge needles injected in your neck). I was coming to the fact that i had to accept this pain because nothing was working, until my mom’s customer came into her store and suggested i try no-​force with Dr. Z! i have only seen him three times and i am already about 70% better! I don’t have the neck pain, the back pain has gone down within one visit!
After seeing the best of the doctors and going to all the different therapies that might help, I can’t believe i didn’t find Dr. Z sooner! If you are or know someone that is like me, trying everything to get rid of chronic pain, i HIGHLY suggested trying Dr. Z! After just three visits for me, i am feeling more like the person i was before my concussions and chronic pain!

I have benefitted from Dr. Z for 10 years — and the non-​force method — for about 15 years now.
It started in High School when I had back pain relating to sports. I lived in Napa at the time and was referred to Dr. Mosher by my physical education teacher. She said that she had been in such writhing back pain that she could barely walk. 45 minutes later, she was fine. She said «he’ll poke you and wiggle your feet and you won’t know why, but it works.» Dr Mosher fixed me up those many years ago, and I’ve been sold on non-​force chiropractic ever since.
Dr. Z is the non-​force practitioner for San Francisco and Marin areas, so after moving to SF I started visiting him. I visit him a couple times per year to stay in good health, but if I mess up my back doing he can always get me into the office promptly. He is professional and takes the time to tell me exactly what is going on in this devil of a back that I am stuck with.
If you have only gone to a «crunch the joints» style chiropractor, check out Dr. Z’s non-​force method. It just might be the solution you’ve been looking for.

I was involved in a motorcycle vs. auto accident several months ago and I broke my leg and my ankle. Since then the road to recovery has been a very long and bumpy, but I think I am beginning to get my life back.
Dr. Zeravich actually listens to my complaints and has been working with with me to develop me a plan to get my life back together.
Dr. Zeravich is the man. He is professional, thorough, a nice guy, and seems to care. He actually remembers my name and what’s wrong with me when I walk into the office. Try him out! I go to the Ocean Ave office because it’s super conveniently located and his prices are super reasonable.

Dr. Zeravich is great. It’s nearly impossible to find non-​force chiropractors. My mom swears by him and when I started having back and neck pains in High School from rowing she took me here. I have been seeing Dr. Z for almost 10 years now. Even if you feel fine, you’ll leave his office feeling better.

Dr. Zeravich will try many gentle methods to cure your pain. With severe back spasms, I could barely walk into his office, and when I left, I felt like I was well on my way to recovery. It’s a very soothing approach, one that encompasses kind words and complete professionalism.

I have been a patient of Dr. Zeravich for nearly a decade.
On my first visit to Dr. Zeravich I was in very serious neck pain (for 3 days). The pain was so severe, simple auxiliary movement like lifting my arm was excruciating.
Prior to the referral to Dr. Zeravich, I went to a Palmer Graduate conventional chiropractor and a network chiropractor. Neither of them made any progress with alleviating the pain (and suffering).
Dr. Zeravich has the BEST patient/​people skills I’ve ever experienced with a healing practitioner. He took some time to educate me on the procedure. The procedure is painless, and effective.
For nearly a decade, I’ve seen Dr. Zeravich for RSI (Repetitive Stress Injury) which I assumed was CTI (Carpal Tunnel Injury). I no longer suffer from wrist or joint paint. That’s because he prescribes joint exercises in addition to his in-​office treatments.
If you are considering a visit to a chiropractor — go see Dr. Zeravich. Walk in with a positive spirit and attitude, you’ll walk out of his office with a lifted spirit and appreciation of his service.

I was all ready to have carpal tunnel surgery when a client told me bout Dr. Z. After just a few visits I have postponed the surgery while I try this different path. His method is like nothing I have ever received from a chiropractor.
